Living Conditions.

Living in the Elizabethan times It was the time if the Renaissance new ideas were going through the towns and cities. More people stopped working with the church and had their new ideas.With the invention of the new Printing Press more and more books were being printed so they were cheaper to buy. More and more people are moving from the little villages and farms to bigger cities with more jobs. There were more jobs because of all the diseases that where going through the big cities, like The Black Plauge, Dysintary and Typhoid. They had various cures for these diseases or what they thought were cures like, tobacco, dried toad,bleed out the victim and arsenic.They also died of the lack of hygiene. They didn't wash their hands and rarely ever took a bath. They didn't brush their teeth or their hairs. In the Elizabethan times people blamed every weird event as the work of witches. Even if a woman was just assumed of being a witch they were burned at the stake with no trial. The events that occured durring the Elizabethan age change how we look at the world today
